And the reason you're wasting your time...

...is that Conservatives aren't going to be outraged by finding out this sort of thing is going on. They believe this is the way things SHOULD be. In their world, the people who own or run businesses are the only ones who actually know how things work, or how to make them work, and the only ones who deserve to really benefit from them. Business executives and owners are the generalists. Workers (like customers) are, at best, a specialist resource to be bought and sold. At worst, they are lazy and larcenous drones that have no ambition, no creativity, no desire to own and control and build. They simply don't deserve to share in the profits of free enterprise. They may have skills and a very few of them may even be honest and conscientious. But as a rule, they are just a commodity and deserve to be consumed just like any other.

The business class have always been like that, they just have been smart enough to keep it to themselves...until about 1980.
Now they're not ashamed to say it out loud. And now, not only do they accept it without question, they're not even afraid to expect that everyone else believes it too; or at least, everyone who really matters.
